Wayne Rooney Reveals Heartbreaking Story Behind Goal Celebration Ahead of Final England Cap

Wayne Rooney will make his 120th and final appearance for England against the United States on Thursday at Wembley. The 33-year-old Manchester United legend, now playing for DC United, is set to end his 15-year international career.

Ahead of the friendly, Rooney took to the pitch with teammates, appearing relaxed as he made a phone call and joked with younger players. He also posted a message on Twitter explaining the meaning behind his goal celebration.

Rooney wrote: "When I celebrate it's in memory of my wife's little sister Rosie who sadly passed away in 2013 aged 14. She visited both Alder Hey Children's Hospital and Claire House and the care and support the family received was unbelievable. Please donate if you can."
